I have an R34 GT-T and will be getting some wheels in from Japan in a week or so. I have been told 18x8.5 +30 up the front and 18x9.5 +38 up the back fits pretty well but I am chasing the pretty much maximum wheel widths I can fit on the R34 with rolled guards that won't cause me any hassle. The size of the wheels will also determine the tyre size(s) I will run.

I either want to run...

235/40R18's all the way around (these on 9.5's should look nice)

225/40R18's at the front and 255/35R18's at the back (slightly lower profile and almost exactly the same rolling circumference as I currently run)

235/40R18's at the front and 265/35R18's at the back (will fit a nice wide set of wheels and will cost my less in tyres)

I also want a nice wide set of wheels as the wheels I am ordering have a bit of dish so the wider the wheel, the greater the dish. I also want to give my car a nice tough stance so a good offset is paramount.

So what sizes can I run on the R34? If I'm going to spend some decent money on these I want the perfect set of wheels.

have a look at this thread to see what other people are running.. there are many variables ie; how low your car is, how aggressive you want your fitment to be etc etc

in theory you could make just about anything 'fit' so it's really up to you to decide how much work you want to do and what look you want to achieve

Thanks, I'll check that out.

Currently the suspension is stock but I'll be getting coilovers soon and will be rolling the guards before fitment. These are the only mods I will do to it that will effect the wheels.

hmm i would probably buy wheels first, then start working your guards / dropping your car to suit.

in any case the thread above has details of what people have done to achieve particular fitments etc, you won't go far wrong.

good luck :/

rolled guards, you can squeeze 18x9.5 or 10 with high offsets of +38 like what you want.

how low are you planning to lower it?

ride height & camber plays a big part in what fits & what doesn't fit.

330mm front (centre of rim to guard)

320mm rear

18x9 +14 225/40/18

18x9.5 +13 235/40/18

both f+r guards are rolled.

camber im not sure as i didnt have any adj camber arms.

      A locally delivered Infiniti have remote start installed but don't come with the remote start key. You need a new remote start key and they just need it programed. And this is different to making/programing a new key that just starts the car.

      Cheers, and cheers for sharing so much of the build and also sharing the glimpse of what turns out to bring a lot of us poor decision makers together haha.  I do recommend learning more about how to manage it, if not considering getting a  formal diagnosis.  The discussion with the psychiatrist I got my diagnosis through was quite eye opening, things I'd not even considered to be ADHD related and hadn't mentioned were things she asked about out of the blue and were common themes with people with my flavour of ADHD.   It's not a label for people who are hyperactive and ill-attentive, there's more to it than that and some of it can be much more challenging or damaging - though there are of course two sides to the thing, and a lot of the stuff we have to go through and work on to live with it make us effectively "better" at other things as well. Aside from the fact that there is some argument I could have a bit of ASD seasoning in there (came up during the diagnosis, and neurodiverse things seem to not stay as a cookie cut) I suspect you need to learn more about ADHD if you are puzzled about how hyperfocus could possibly apply.  I *do* personally use "superpower" with quotes deliberately, but it's 100% an ADHD thing due to the exact reason that lack of focus is also an ADHD thing... Loosely speaking the inattentive side of ADHD isn't the inability to focus, it's the inability to control where the focus goes.  Not being able to sleep because brain is more interested in thinking about a stupid thing I said to a girl I liked 30 years ago, not being able to focus on work because my brain is more keen on putting together the torque management strategy we're going to try out with a drag car next weekend, not being able to focus on a conversation with someone I WANT to listen to and respect because there is a flickering light in my peripheral vision.    If I could just stop work and build the torque management setup right there and then I'd not hear anything else until it was done.

      Maybe you should do some more reading.  Google positive effects of ADHD and you'll get your answers.  One of my personal downsides of ADHD has been talking before I think.   Maybe you have it too?

      Excuse me for butting in....but which part of ADHD can be considered a superpower? I would have though it far more likely that some ASD comorbidity is more likely to be contributing to an ability to hyperfocus on something. ADHD being aimed somewhat in the other direction. My shed looks like your shed. My whiteboard list of unfinished projects has entries going back 15 years. I know what you're talking about - I just struggle to connect ADHD to the results being discussed.

      Thanks for reaching out!  It's a blessing and a curse at the same time.  I'm undiagnosed but it doesn't take a rocket scientist to see it in me... I have more half started projects laying around my house, shed, garden, etc taking up space and money, destroying aesthetics than if I added up all of my mates projects together. But, ADHD gives me the ability to hyper focus on things that no mere mortal could even  comprehend.  A recent pool build is an example of that....  I dont know anyone else that would be dumb enough and focused enough to take on then complete something of that magnitude. I call ADHD a superpower but it can equally be completely destructive if not controlled and focusedon the right places. Addiction is a major concern to ADHD people and thankfully my addictions have been no worse than projects, XBOX, chocolate and being an arsehole! It's often hereditary and my 13 year old son is currently learning how to drive it at the moment. Keep lurking! If i can finally finish this bloody thing at some point it will be a win for all of us ADHD'ers! 🤪
